Emmy Award-winning comedian Katt Williams is ventu

Emmy Award-winning comedian Katt Williams is venturing into the world of film production with an ambitious plan to transform a former military base in Alabama into a state-of-the-art movie studio. While details about the exact location and purchase price remain under wraps, speculation points to the Cold War-era barracks at Fort McClellan in Anniston, Alabama, listed for sale at $1.5 million. Amy Sisoyev, the comedian’s publicist, confirmed the acquisition but declined to share specifics, saying only, “I can confirm that he has purchased a former military base in Alabama.” The property, which Williams has fittingly named “Starships,” is said to feature an array of structures and amenities that make it ideal for large-scale film production. Reports indicate it includes 30 concrete buildings offering three million square feet of indoor space, 10 barracks with 20 rooms each, two expansive gymnasiums, and over 90 acres of flat land. For Katt Williams, this move is more than just an investment—it is a statement about the power of ownership and representation in entertainment. #realestate

Eniola Shokunbi, a middle school student from Conn

Eniola Shokunbi, a middle school student from Connecticut, has made headlines with her ambitious project to improve air quality in schools. This initiative, which aims to build low-cost air filters for classrooms, recently received a significant boost when the Connecticut State Bond Commission approved $11.5 million in funding in October 2024. The project began when Shokunbi, then a fifth grader at Commodore MacDonough STEM Academy in Middletown, was tasked with creating a solution to enhance safety in schools during potential future pandemics. Motivated by the need for better air quality to combat airborne viruses like COVID-19, she developed a simple yet effective air filter system. With support from scientists at the University of Connecticut (UConn), Shokunbi’s design underwent rigorous testing. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirmed that the device effectively eliminates over 99% of airborne viruses, showcasing its potential to significantly improve classroom safety. The recent approval by the State Bond Commission allocates $11.5 million for the implementation of these air filters across Connecticut schools. This funding is part of UConn’s SAFE-CT: Supplemental Air Filtration for Education Program, which aims to ensure that every public school classroom has access to these vital air purification systems. Shokunbi’s vision extends beyond Connecticut; she aspires to see her air filters implemented in classrooms nationwide. #stemeducation
